The message to Nicodemus "You have to be reborn"

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Español)

RESUMEN: In John 3, we see another personal encounter of Jesus Christ with Nicodemus, a leader among the Jews who approaches Jesus at night out of fear of his Pharisee friends. Nicodemus sees Jesus as a distinguished teacher but does not recognize Him as the Son of God. The sermon emphasizes the need for a radical encounter with Jesus where He becomes the totality of our lives. The speaker encourages Christians to overcome their fear and become bold evangelists, inviting others to church or special events as opportunities to share the Gospel. The sermon concludes with a personal testimony of the speaker's own journey to a deeper understanding of Jesus.

The speaker talks about his personal journey with Christianity and how he initially saw Jesus as an accessory to his life rather than the center of it. It wasn't until he had a second conversion and dedicated his life to Christ that he truly understood the difference between having Christ partially and having Him at the center of his life. He emphasizes the importance of having Christ as both Lord and Savior and being a slave of Jesus, meaning that everything belongs to Him and He governs all aspects of our lives. The speaker also discusses the importance of being born again and how Jesus is the catalyst for this transformation. He encourages us to lift up Jesus before others so that they may also experience this new birth and the life of God within them.


The Gospel cannot be understood through intellectual or rational means, but rather through a childlike faith and an open spirit to Jesus Christ. Jesus is the agent of change in our lives, and we must invite Him in to break the ties that enslave us. The Lord uses the image of the bronze serpent in the desert to illustrate that we must look to Him for salvation and eternal life. Our job is to lift up Jesus before humanity and present Him as the solution to being lost and perishing. We must preach the Gospel and not let people get lost. Our lives are in the hands of Jesus, and we must set our eyes on Him.


The speaker preaches about the importance of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in order to enter the Kingdom of God. They urge the audience to invite Jesus into their hearts and surrender their lives to Him completely. They also warn about the dangers of the world and the need for Christ's protection. The speaker emphasizes the power of the Name of Jesus and the importance of spreading the Gospel to others. They pray for a fierce and loving people who will bring others to Christ.


I want to invite you to go to the Word of the Lord in the Gospel according to Saint John in chapter 3 where we see an encounter, these personal encounters of Jesus Christ with individuals who reveal a lot about His heart and the priority that Evangelism has in life. of the Lord, and the salvation of a soul, and the way that we should use to evangelize lives. These are meetings that are both good for evangelizing and also for realizing how to evangelize and what are the elements that constitute effective Evangelism.

Last Sunday we talked about the Samaritan woman, about the encounter of that character with Jesus Christ in the Gospel according to Saint John in chapter 4 and we saw that this woman is a woman of dubious reputation, she has a somewhat licentious life, there have been six men in her life, she is a woman who I imagine that in her community the women looked at her with fascination and also with fear that she would choose their husbands for them, she has a past, and yet she is a heart that needs Jesus Christ, and there is something in her that causes the Lord sympathy, and that is why Christ approaches her, ministers to her, speaks to her, appears before her, and it is important that we see how He is gradually leading this woman to a knowledge of Him and to full acceptance.
